PREVIEW

• Polk State enters the final week of the regular season in control of its own postseason destiny. The Eagles can clinch the fifth spot and a berth in the FCSAA Tournament by taking all three games from Daytona State College on Thursday and Saturday. Polk State can finish fourth in the conference by taking all three games and with three State College of Florida losses to Hillsborough College. If the Eagles fail to win all three games against the Falcons, they could still receive an at-large berth.

• In Thursday's 5-3 win over No. 18 College of Central Florida, Carson Montsdeoca gave Polk State six strong innings, allowing just a run. Montsdeoca ranks sixth in the FCSAA with a 3.44 ERA. Montsdeoca and Roman Corinti are tied for seventh in the FCSAA with six wins apiece this season.

• Jack Muller was the hero in Polk State's 5-3 win over College of Central Florida on Thursday with the game-winning two-run single in the top of the ninth. Muller now leads Polk State with 46 RBIs this season. With the win, Polk State assured itself a fifth winning season in six years and 13th in 16 years under Head Coach Al Corbeil.

• Polk State will conclude non-conference play on Tuesday at home against St. Johns River State College. With the help of three home runs from Zach Lester, Polk State rolled to a 16-6 victory in the first meeting on Feb. 10 in Palatka.

• Polk State will celebrate Sophomore Night on Thursday against Daytona State College. Infielders Kenay Acevedo, Hayden Testerman, Josh Cruz and Kustarr Webb; outfielders Zach Lester and Kevin Brunet; and pitchers Carson Montsdeoca, Roman Corinti, Anthony Schatz, Jason Sawyer and Vincent Antuna will be recognized prior to the contest.
